I agree GPA, did the same drive this morning too! City beach was ankle high with knee high sets, yet had about 15 people all shoulder to shoulder near the rocks. What a joke!
a couple more down south pics from last week. the left was really fun even though it was onshore.
finally, a day with true offshore winds, even if its 100 knots. least it'll open up afew more breaks. gotta hate dec/jan south south easters.
Body bash at trigg last night and there are/was plenty of stingers in the water, copped a few across the face but lucky they are not the burn your eyes out stings just the anoying 100's and 1000' pin pricks...
They're back, huh? Were they the same type I came across last week - not the typical little box-shaped stingers but like the white/opaque river jellyfish? I.e. about 8-10cm diameter and round?
Went on a very fruitless two hour search today. Kind of knew from the start I wouldn't find anything, but with good weather, good music cranking and Yelo cafe coffee, I'm not one to complain.
Beats working for a living.

Can we cull the stingers... went for a snorkel at Nth Beach and flipper'd our way towards Tom's - lasted about 15 min - the amount of those big buggers was a concern - especially with a dive mask on and you can see the 30-40cm long tentacles trailing behind them....
Funny thing was 2-3km up the road at Marmion there was none and we were in the water for nearly an hour...
Visibility was variable from 5-8 out of 10 depending upon where you were (strangely there was quite a bit of swell movement happening).
Today is flat, flat, flat. You know it's flat when you see more sups than short boards!
I took a punt the other day and scored, report wasnt saying much but a couple of little indicators made me think there might be a wave, turns out I was right.
Left about an hour before sunset with it still offshore and fun waves coming through, only a handful of crew out which was good as well, thought it might have been packed, gotta love those arvos sessions!
Fished the same stretch of coast last night, got smoked big time by possibly a bronzie as i got bitten off previously and have caught them them before, damn it I missed out on flake!
not having a crack but most of you guys driving for 2-3 hours around the flat beaches of your local, could actually be placed in some pretty good waves if you drove north or south for the same time.
